Tammy Faye Dead: Mascara stock prices plummet

Sad. Turns out she put off going to the doctor for a year because she was embarrassed to go to a male doctor.

Greedy.

Prosecutors said the PTL organization sold more than 150,000 "lifetime partnerships" promising lodging at the theme park but did not build enough hotel space with the $158 million in proceeds. At his fraud trial, Jim Bakker was accused of diverting $3.7 million to personal use even though he knew the ministry was financially shaky. Trial testimony showed PTL paid $265,000 to Hahn to cover up the sexual encounter with the minister.

While not charged, his then-wife shared during the 1980s in the public criticism and ridicule over the couple's extravagance, including the reportedly gold-plated bathroom fixtures and an air-conditioned doghouse.

And women still aren't allowed to practice medicine in South Carolina? Sad indeed.

I went to school near PTL...

Coverups weren't the only thing PTL was paying for. Tammy used to go to the jewelry shop in the mall on the PTL property and pick out something to wear on the show. She never returned any of them, and the owner of the store just billed the ministry.

Another Tammy Faye story:

She went to the mall one day (where I was working part-time) after the scandal broke. Naturally, people noticed her. She was a bit upset by this and demanded that the mall rent-a-cop go tell people to stop looking at her.
